JPMC Recycling Scrap Metal Regions 1-6

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a Joint Purchase Master Contract to provide pickup, removal, and recycling or disposal services for scrap and specialty metals from authorized locations across the state. The contract will cover Regions 1-6 of Illinois, with Regions 7-9 previously awarded. Bidders may bid on a single region or multiple regions, and the State may award to multiple vendors. The resulting contract will have an initial term of 6 years, with options to extend up to 10 years total. Pricing will be based on the weekly high side rates per gross ton, with the vendor subtracting its percentage share for the awarded region. Payment will be made to the State Surplus Property Revolving Fund. The contract is an indefinite quantity arrangement, and the estimated value is not provided.

There are no small business, minority, or veteran small business goals associated with this IFB. The contract was previously awarded to Ley Metals Recycling for Regions 4, 5, and 6 with a total award amount of $0.00, as it is a concession contract where the vendor retains 60% of the gross revenue and the State receives 40%. The State will hold a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 15, 2022 to explain the procurement requirements, including the Business Enterprise and Veteran Small Business Program (BEP/VSBP) process.
